What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Midland requires sidewalk contractors to post a $1,000 surety bond before building or repairing public sidewalks. Sidewalks sit in the public right of way, so the bond is a workmanship and restoration guarantee: it stands behind your sidewalk work meeting city standards and not leaving public property damaged.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Midland (the obligee). If a contractor pours a defective walk, fails to meet ADA or city standards, or damages the right-of-way, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pour to standard treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $1,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the City of Midland. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the city for your sidewalk permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
